* higher-res 23-24" cinema display for $2199 or less
or
* 19" cinema display or studio display for $1199 or less (at least 1280x1024)
2. POWERMAC
* machine roughly 3 times as fast as my G4-450DP for $1999 or less (current dual 1ghz G4 would just about qualify, if/when it becomes cheaper)
or
* significantly faster machine (maybe twice as fast or faster than current dual 1ghz G4), whether it be next-gen dual G4 (1.2 - 1.5ghz) with DDR RAM and faster bus, or quad G4, or MP G5, or ???, even if it's much more expensive.
I still think Apple should make a "Studio Pro" Mac or "SuperMac" that's above the Powermac in both price and performance!
800MHz G4 iMac with 15" LCD @ 1024x768 and a SuperDrive.
Oh, WAIT...hey, guess what?
But seriously, if this new iMac wasn't such a sweet piece of cool-osity, I'd like to have an 800MHz G4 iBook with 14" @ 1024x768 and a SuperDrive. Pretty much a portable version of the new iMac, more or less.
As cool as the TiBook is, I appreciate and dig the ruggedness and overall cooler vibe of the iStuff, so...
If Apple sold a black T-Shirt with a small white Apple logo on the back or chest I'd buy it for $10.
OR
If Apple released OS X for x86, I'd buy if for anything under $300. If they made an ATX Mac mobo, I'd buy it for $200 if it had good features (at least ATA100, 133MHz bus, 4PCI slots, etc).
Maybe not. But I'd give it a lot of thought.
A surefire one: If Apple made a two button mouse...
An iPod with a high quality built in voice recording facility via a small firewire mic. imput is auto stored in either (user selectable) MP3 or AIFF format. Record everything, lectures, research notes. Sync to iBook, and make chapter marked archives for all important topics on back-up CD's and in a nice personal research database.
Do it. I'll buy one and a new mac to go with it. Probably two.
12" iBook that is (if possible) a bit thinner and lighter, @ least 500MHz, @ least 100MHz Bus, @ least G3, @ least 5 Hr batt, DVD, @ least 10 GB HD, $999 ($899 refurb)....
iPod Remote, $20-$50 depending if it added features or not (iPhoto d/l)
iPod2 10+GB $450, iPod1 $300
I dont think these requests are too hard to meet...
I wish they sold something like a mini-TiBook thats about half the foot print of iBook2, 5-10GB hard drive, OSX 10.2, No cd drive and integrated wireless phone and Airport...
sort of a mini-iBook portable with a "TiBook" ultrathin look and alot of wireless options...
I would take it everywhere with me...
I am too paronoid when taking my iBook2 laptop anywhere...
I would hope they sell it somewhere under $1300
---
P.S. - It would be ideal if they had an optional docking station that had a freeplay? type wind-up energy mechanism to support the power needs of the comp. and wireless stuff energy needs... I remember hearing about a Apple Wind-up idea a long time ago.... but I guess it never panned out...
<strong>Just 2 _realistic_ products please and at what price. I would buy:

I definitely would go for your #1. Some built in high speed wireless connectivity would be great on it. You could have your pics/vids, MP3's, organizer and a way to use it as a communication device either by email or a headset jack. I'd also jump on a tower with an improved MB(DDR, ATA 100, etc.). A dual G5 would be nice in it but I'd settle for a dual 1.2-1.5 G4. The dual gig that's out now is tempting but I'm waiting for the better MB more than a G5 so I can at least get a little more life out of it.

If I did, the current high-end iMac and 12" iBook would both be looking very attractive.
would buy tomorrow.
Apple Digital Video Camera. specs: sexy industrial design, all else optional CAN$999 (US$625)
would buy in 6 mo.

Absolutely! I have Office, but i find myself using AW5 in classic most of the time. If Apple were to release AW7 I'd buy three copies today.

And I assume you have $10,000.00 or so to blow on that configuration?
I just bought a dual GHz G4 w/GF4 TI, so I'm broke for a while, but I could scrounge up money for a Newton 3000 MessagePad if one was made available.
Maybe a iTablet w/ airport also, but then I realy would be broke.

That's why, though I really wnated an iMac, I instead got a TiBook 667, which is basically this, but portable to boot.
Thus I have no money to buy whatever Apple releases today, tomorrow, or the next day.
Happily 'booking,
